#1 If the United States is going to fulfill its Manifest Destiny and settle the West, we need a way to get the wagons across the Columbia. I say let's go for it. Westward, ho!

#3 Its true that I-5 needs to be widened between Washington and Oregon.

However, a lot of the cost for this is in upscaling the interchanges. Particularly costly were the upgrades associated with access to Hayden Island and the addition of a light rail line connecting Vancouver and Portland.

#4 After several million have been spent onthe design of the I-5 bridge, the Army corps of engineers and theUSCG have determined it is too low to allow existing shipyards to move product. The joint Wa-Or bridge commission thinks that the design is fine and are ignoring the potential loss of jobs. The coast guard has ultimate approval authority and is not incmlined at this time to OK it.

#5 all that may be as noted accurately above. Nothing he pushes now will have shovels in ground before January (and that's if they already had approved final plans and environmental clearance) and were just waiting for the Skittles-shitting unicorn to fly over and drop $). All this is promises for votes
